Since I disabled PulseAudio due to the missing passthrough support [1]
and upstream also enabled it in their Ubuntu packages [2] I'm open to
re-enabling it.
However I'm a bit uncomfortable with the change due to the (IMO) high number
of unclassified bugs in PulseAudio [3]. Maybe submitting an RFH would
make PulseAudio package gain some more attention?

Cheers,
Balin
